King of the North: My Lord's Diary Weekly Summary

As we all know, the value of a handwritten settlement capability lies not only in settlement, but also in information.

Using the information in his personal and faction panels, Wayne further clarified the strength and loyalty of the Wolf Clan by relying on the progress in the faction's "stability" and "troop strength".

He finally gained a basic understanding of the second tier in the appendix of his personal panel's physique section.

Roughly speaking, it's about 20 individual metrics.

Therefore, Wayne had a clearer understanding of his path to becoming stronger—his strength level would not only depend on his progress in breathing techniques, which was only one way to improve his strength.

Next, in order to achieve his goal—to have a team of second-tier followers before the barbarian invasion and the real life-or-death crisis came knocking—his subsequent strategy became very clear.

First, we should select as many excellent minions as possible—after the last settlement, Vayne has been able to determine the value of these Enchanted Purple minions.

Secondly, one must choose a bloodline of the Enchanting Purple level or higher, while maintaining training and breathing techniques—both external forces and diligent internalization and absorption are the best ways to become stronger.

Only if I advance to the second tier as soon as possible will these followers have a chance to advance to the second tier.

Finally, when a Crystal Blue-level reward appears, you can prioritize choosing skills and items.

The former allows one to observe the reward of this option; while the latter can either solve the current problem and give Wayne more trump cards, or exchange for fusion cards to allow Wayne to fuse bloodlines and thus become stronger faster!

Wayne quickly sorted out his thoughts, and his next choice became obvious.

"Attendants".

Now that I have Raymond as my follower, even if I choose a bloodline that suits me and raise all my stats to close to 20, or even advance to the second tier, only Raymond himself can break free from the shackles.

Moreover, in order to gain more power and reputation points during the subsequent development period, bloodlines are not as useful as followers.

As soon as Wayne made up his mind, three more enchanting cards appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Brandon, the Iron Prison Commander (Epic)

Name: Brandon

Title: Iron Prison Commander

Strength Level: Tier 1 (cannot be higher than yours)

Physical condition: 16

Agility: 10

Spirit: 14

Expertise:

Ironclad Formation: The infantry phalanx trained and commanded by Brandon is extremely difficult to break apart. The soldiers have a strong sense of mutual cover and strict military discipline.

Will to charge into battle: When Brandon personally led the army, his soldiers were in high spirits and had the courage to charge into battle even when they were in a situation where defeat was inevitable.

Weapons: Heavy spear, full-body iron armor

Bloodline: None

Brief Introduction: Brandon was once an infantry commander in his duchy's army, known for his rigorous training and absolute discipline.

Due to his special training and command programs, the number of his "Iron Prison Battalion" never exceeded eight hundred, yet he always managed to win against overwhelming odds in several disadvantageous battles, turning the tide with small units.

He was not good with words, nor did he care for women. His only requirement of the lord was that the Iron Prison Camp be given ample supplies and trust.

Shaun the Sheep Herder (Epic)

Name: Sean

Title: Sheep Patrol

Strength Level: Tier 1 (cannot be higher than yours)

Physical condition: 14

Agility: 15

Spirit: 8

Expertise:

Archery Specialization: Sean is skilled in various combat and hunting archery techniques and can use various materials to make bows and arrows that are suitable for the properties of those materials.

Shepherding skills: Sean is an expert in sheep herding and breed improvement, and has experience in the production of high-quality mutton, sheep milk, wool and sheepskin products.

The sheepskins he processed were soft and tough, making the quivers, leather armor, and winter clothing made from them exceptionally high quality.

Weapons: Beast horn longbow, specially made hand arrows

Bloodline: None

Synopsis: Sean comes from the White Hoof Sheep tribe in the Northwest Grasslands. He has lived a nomadic life since childhood, with his flock of sheep as his lifeline.

During a tribal migration, Sean, in order to cover the transfer of his people, lured away a band of bandits alone, used his backswinging archery skills to kill more than ten bandits, and finally fell off a cliff to his death.

He is easygoing and exceptionally capable; with just a usable pasture and a small flock of sheep, he can become an excellent producer.

【Dustin, the Strategist of Thorns (Epic)】

Name: Dustin

Title: Thornblade Strategist

Strength Level: Tier 1 (cannot be higher than yours)

Physical condition: 9

Agility: 8

Spirit: 18

Expertise:

Scorched earth: Dustin excels at managing supplies, conscripting laborers, and building a multi-layered defense system in territorial defense battles, maximizing the use of limited resources to delay the enemy.

Plan before you act: Dustin is not good at improvisation, but given enough time to plan, he can devise a series of interconnected city defense strategies and ambush plans.

Weapon: Longsword

Bloodline: None

Brief introduction: Dustin was once the governor of the eastern province of the kingdom, known for his iron-fisted methods and strict laws.

Under his rule, the provinces were free of lost items and granaries were full, but his strict enforcement of the law offended many powerful figures.

When rival families colluded with foreign enemies to invade, those powerful clans he had punished refused to leave their homes, leading to the fall of the city and their deaths.

Looking at the three cards on the panel in front of him, many images flashed through Wayne's mind.

With Brandon in charge, the cooperation of the vast majority of the people, the efficiency of formulating subsequent territory rules, and the work efficiency of the people will all be greatly improved.

Secondly, he was a subordinate capable of training qualified soldiers—before this, even Raymond was only able to make the people and militia more effective in commanding defensive battles by using deployment and facilities.

In addition, his individual stats are excellent.

Dustin, on the other hand, has practical experience in managing a region—although he may seem too stubborn, with his own authorization and moderation, he could certainly serve as a catalyst for Wayne's territorial management abilities.

Moreover, the ability to make full use of limited resources is a very valuable skill for a territory manager.

However, compared to Shaun the Sheep Herder, the former two are obviously inferior.

Aside from Sean's ability to make bows and arrows and his individual combat skills, he also possesses several other decisive abilities.

The productivity of animal husbandry!

A special skill that enables the creation of leather armor, a key resource in the North, from sheepskin, as well as winter clothing, a hard currency for trade and internal employment!

These two points are enough to solve one of the most pressing problems in the Wayne Territory right now—the economy!

A strong economy means increased stability in the territory, more resources, and... greater prestige in the North!

Therefore, the answer to this follower selection was inevitable—the value that Sean could create had already exceeded Wayne's expectations for the Enchanting Purple-level reward.

Wayne was eager to see how much value he could create with his twenty sheep.

I'm afraid the value of the profit alone could exceed the 1000 gold coins I brought from home!
